How about you guys? Announced saying there when they mean they're or their. ? Do or die. Sudden death. This is war. Any of those analogies. It's a reality TV show that has manipulated the public into believing it's more important than it actually is.
June 15, 20232 yr It occurs in 3rd innings, is cursed, involves awful singing, and forces me to use my mute button. And will not happen this evening.....one of the only things I like about ESPN. Edited June 15, 20232 yr by wegner

That which you do not like has been used successfully to break terrorists into revealing key details. It's how we really found out where Bin Laden was hiding.

I also think Jason should be sent to Guantanamo for it's continued abuse.
June 15, 20232 yr Thought you guys were talking about the Nationwide jingle, lol... A different kind of torture.

How about you guys? There's actually three Gwynns, six Boggses, and three Jeters. Only one Konerko though.

June 15, 20232 yr I get annoyed when guys celebrate in a big moment like they have won the World Series. Sure, it’s a big moment in a regular season, but as a player, you have to know you haven’t won s%*# yet. When a player is being a dick to another player and show them up after striking them out and then people call it gamesmanship. Pedro Strop was the king of this. Edited June 15, 20232 yr by The Beast
June 15, 20232 yr When announcers say "he just needs to play within himself." What the f*** does that mean?

June 15, 20232 yr 17 minutes ago, Snopek said: I’ve reread this one a buncha times. Still can’t figure out what it means. Variety of pitches? Repertoire? Movement in out/up down/side to side? Sweeper cutter slider screwball? Two seam/four seam?
June 15, 20232 yr I had to hit the mute button last night. Some gal kept rattling on about nothing in the shrillest of voices.

This so much, and it goes beyond games, even beyond sports. I hate all instances of it. Another one is when they are doing an interview while the game is being played, thus not even showing the action. Also, not sure if it's ESPN or FOX, but whoever does the mic'ing of players while they are playing needs to stop. "The umpires in the stands..." A. They aren't umpires. B. They are biased and their opinion is irrelevant. "The pitcher wanted that one..." Really?, you don't say
June 15, 20232 yr Today's announcers believe incompetence is a virtue. Comments earlier here are so true.
June 15, 20232 yr soxmath and singing the Nationwide jingle have become tiresome, silly, and pointless. Jason and Stone are among the best when they stay in the game but can be irritating when they drift away from the game taking place on the field, and ramble off topic. Gordon is insufferable and his reliance on hyperbole and platitudes is distracting.
June 15, 20232 yr - Nationwide Jingle - Sox Math - Benetti and Stone eating food while doing the game. - Anytime Gordon Beckham is in the booth. - Jason when he decides to ramble and talk too much, because he thinks he is the main reason you are tuning in to listen to him. as opposed to tuning in to watch the Sox play baseball. - Jason who to this day has the all-time worst home run call. - Anytime the Sox have to play on ESPN, Fox or Amazon Prime.
